It's a budget issue as well. If you want a plush ride, you gotta be willing to pay. I'm waiting to see if Bilstein 8112s come out.

I had an IS500 before I got my Tacoma. I don't think the ride needs to be firmer. I'd like suspension that absorbs bumps more like my IS did.
well honestly, I was dead set on an IS500 or a Caddy CT4V Blackwing, but I think I’m just wanting something other than a sports sedan. Do you regret switching for the Tacoma at all? I know it’s not apples to apples comparison, but just curious. I’m pretty outdoorsy and I think it’s just time I get a truck.

I found it impossible to find a premium package Off-Road with the 2.5" factory lift. It seemed all the lifts are on the lower/standard trims or upgrade packages, but not the OR w/premium. My guess is that tips the MSRP over $60K and nearly the price of a TH or Pro, so they don't make that build often. I ended up going with a premium OR without the extra lift. Would be nice to have it, but the ride is great and fits 33" tires no problem. Can always add a lift in the future if needed.

I do miss the power and sound; it's hard to match a 5L V8 that revs to 7200. That said, the IS500 was not a good year round car for someone living anywhere that gets real snow. That was the main motivation for the switch. I do also like being back in a manual.
